“Forget aging lips—we’re not doing it,” proclaims Gucci. In the second installment of our Gamechangers series, she shares a singular hack for boosting definition and volume in mature lip (or lips of any age for that matter!). It adds just 10 seconds to your makeup routine and once you’ve tried it, she swears, you’ll never turn back.
“I often get asked what to do when your lips lose their pigment as you age, especially along that upper border. I'm a perfect example,” she says. Here’s what to do: Using a lip pencil that closely matches your natural lip tone (teaser alert—spot the lab sample in Gucci’s hand!), subtly define the border of your lips, then gently tap in the color with a fingertip to diffuse any visible lines. Gucci likes to put a slight emphasis on her Cupid’s bow.
Now, dab a layer of matching lipstick at the center of the lips to blend the color. In this case, she’s using Lip Suede Matte Lipstick in Pique, a taupey nude with a velvety, hydrated matte finish that stays put. Et voila: “It’s super easy and you can do it!”
